I find it enjoyable when characters temporary go out-of-character, as <BR>
part of a (good) story plot. <BR>
<BR>
For example: <BR>
- Gladstone having bad luck<BR>
- Donald being a millionaire<BR>
- Scrooge being bankrupt</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
But, to me, this isn't "going out of character." To me, such examples are being confronted with *plot* differences, as opposed to differences that effect the actual characters. Would Scrooge react apathetically if he went bankrupt? Would Donald save his money if he became a millionaire?<BR>
